Re-registration of Marriage

Seriously, I have so many wedding anniversary dates to remember now! Well, more reasons (more like alasan/excuses) to celebrate. So we have the day we registered, our tea ceremony, and also wedding reception (yet to blog) and now, the Malaysia one! Bobby joked and asked, “So… where’s the next place to get registered?”

And I’m blogging this to help other foreigners who married a Malaysian and need to re-register again. I asked around and my friends only told me that

1) it’s a simple task 2) there’s a penalty for late registration

So feeling gungho and confident, both of us who knew nothing just simply go around places and asked how to do it.. (since our friends didn’t give us precise instructions…)

First, you need to get the form JPN.KC06 from JPN which stands for Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara or the National Registration Department.

For those who wishes to do in Miri (near near mah), this is the building..

The form.

You are going to need

1) A completed form 2) Passport-sized photos for both Groom and Bride (blue background) 3) MYKAD for the Malaysian (Original and photocopy) 4) Passport for the foreigner (Original and photocopy), and also photocopy the page which the last arrival date in Malaysia 5) Foreign Marriage certificate (Original and photocopy)

WE WERE AMAZED BY THE SERVICES PROVIDED THERE! Change ownership of GUN also have!

After everything is done…. go back to JPN and proceed!

This is the part where it’s going to be real fast! Just take number, wait for the number, submit all the documents and sign sign sign and pay and wait for your Malaysia Marriage certificate! (We got ours in less than 15 minutes – including waiting time)

And about the penalty, we paid RM120 (RM20 for Marriage certificate + RM100 late registration for the first year). If you manage to do it within 6 months, they will only charged RM20 for the marriage certificate.
